DESCRIPTION

SELECTION TABLE

The SP202E/232E/233E/310E/312E devices are a family of line driver and receiver pairs that

meet the specifications of RS-232 and V.28 serial protocols with enhanced ESD performance.

The ESD tolerance has been improved on these devices to over ±15KV for both Human Body

Model and IEC1000-4-2 Air Discharge Method. These devices are pin-to-pin compatible with

Sipex's SP232A/233A/310A/312A devices as well as popular industry standards. As with the

initial versions, the SP202E/232E/233E/310E/312E devices feature at least 120Kbps data rate

under load, 0.1µF charge pump capacitors, and overall ruggedness for commercial applications.

This family also features Sipex's BiCMOS design allowing low power operation without

sacrificing performance. The series is available in plastic DIP and SOIC packages operating over

the commercial and industrial temperature ranges.
